#7 | Raheem Sterling - 2021/22 Performances

[Brewster's millions]

Not sure why he was hooked ahead of Foden today. I’d have had Sterling and Mahrez wings and Bernie in the middle.

Foden, Bernado and De Bruyne could all have been taken off before Sterling today.

Get this joker sold.
Useless when it matters.
A few decent performances after 18 months of dross and people love him again, and then he reverts to type

I’m not sure today is the day to be pointing fingers at Raz. I can appreciate your frustrations over the deficiencies you’ve seen in recent years, but right now he’s not showing them - there were few, if any, glaringly poor controls or aimless runs into legs that I can remember.

I saw more worrying errors from Foden than Sterling today. In previous seasons you might have found a sympathetic ear, but tonight isn’t the night. Even if he had been awful tonight, I think he’s earned enough credit these past few months.

I think outside of lumping desperate high balls onto Spurs heads towards the end, De Bruyne was worth his place on the pitch. Bernardo’s been in good form, and so could’ve been a threat, but I’d probably agree that he did little more than Sterling to remain on the pitch. Foden was absent.

How recently is recently? We've won 19 of our last 22?

According to him Sterling was "gash for 18 months" and then put in "a few decent performances" so clearly he's got no fucking clue how to measure lengths of time

Mate, I am not his biggest fan, but he was far from being the worst performer today. Gideon should have been hooked, not Sterling

I agree... but who is Gideon?

If Grealish puts in that performance its described as a very good display, if sterling does it its terrible and hes a waste of space. It was a nothing game from him but that can be said of our entire attack. the offensive tactics were all wrong today and that's what cost us. You can still look at individuals but there's less weight to it when they're being asked to do things that make little sense.

Lol. Foden. Big fingers on small keyboard :)

Ah okay, yeah he was awful.

Let's hope at the very least this team has a reaction against Everton.

Fucking bizarre it was him who went off. We immediately looked better when he switched to the left and it wasn't because of foden. Debruyne and foden both needed to go before home.
